title: [The epidemiological effectiveness control of antituberculous measures in the experimental territories].
abstract: Report on the effectiveness of antituberculous measures in 8 experimental territories of USSR. These territories were organized in 1972. Measures for the control of tuberculosis are comprehensively performed and checked. Repeated mass x-ray examinations of the whole population (covering more than 90%) have produced a marked reduction of tuberculosis incidence already within 2 to 3 years. The intensified bacteriological diagnostic with cultures increased the portion of positive cases up to 55-60%. Other important indices for the assessment and evaluation of the tuberculosis situation are discussed. The portion of negativations and cavity clomre could be markedly improved by a centralized control of the treatment results.
